The NCAA Initial-Eligibility and Amateur Clearinghouse (now named the NCAA Eligibility Center) charges
a fee of 60 dollars for U.S. citizens (domestic) and 60 dollars for international students. This is a
one time fee and will only need to be updated (without charge) when the student-athlete is ready to attend
an NCAA Division 1 or 2 institution.

The clearinghouse is an online process which determines initial and future NCAA eligibility.

It is the opinion of the NJCAA and the NJCAA Executive Committee that this process is vitally important in
determining the eligibility status of future student athletes, in particular, international student-athletes
where much of the previous documentation is difficult to obtain. This exception may be utilized by Division
1, 2 and 3 NJCAA institutions.
